Culture, Society, and Economy: A Holistic Anthropological Analysis of Social Institutions, Kinship, and Economic Life

The study is situated within the interdisciplinary domains of Social Anthropology, Sociology, and Socio-Legal Studies. It presents a comprehensive and integrative anthropological examination of culture, society, social institutions, kinship systems, family and marriage, and economic organization. By synthesizing classical anthropological theories with contemporary perspectives, the article adopts a holistic and comparative framework to analyze how cultural meanings, social structures, and economic practices are interlinked. The research emphasizes cultural relativism, institutional interdependence, and the embeddedness of economic life within social relations, highlighting anthropology’s continued relevance in understanding continuity and change in a globalized world.
